[email protected] - Wasa station. After a morning of safety training and snow scooter training, we unpacked and I took our snow optical sensors for a walk to test the surface snow grain sizes. All present and correct.
A good view from the moraine over the station and the vast whiteness of the #iceSheet beyond.

I'm heading south. I plan to upload my #Antarctic #Fieldwork photos here, so here is a test image, not one of mine, but a Sentinel2 satellite image of the Drygalski Mountains in Dronning Maud Land last year. Read more about it here: http://sternaparadisaea.net/2025/12/11/heading-south/

Welp, these rocks shouldn't be here, or dipping the way they are... I'll need to rethink what's going on along this section of fault.

Stumbled across this rat snake behaving weirdly. It didn't move an inch when I walked by it only a meter away. Its mouth was agape and eyes cloudy. I almost think it was dead.

Turns out Alabama has sugar maples. I had no idea, neat. Observed near Fort Payne, AL. #nature #fieldworkfriday #fieldphotos #thicktrunkthursday #tree

Finally back in the field today, scouting out a new mapping area and looking for some graphite schist.
